Surely this is going too far. I wouldn’t agree with it if it was the final.

I'm actually of Irish descent but I support England.

Is this irony?

If not
Do you think many right wingers are celebrating the diversity of the England squad?

Yes absolutely.
What a ridiculous comment.

One person does not reflect the whole 'MC Lefties' 😂

As do minority idiots not represent the right. Yet the right always manage to get shoe horned into everything.

Haha! She actually lives on a council estate in a former council flat in South East London full of white working class people who've decked the whole estate out with England flags!

How wonderful - good for those supporters.
Your friend probably doesn’t need to live in subsidised housing,if she can holiday for a month. What an absolute fun sponge.
Does she know about all the patriotism in Italy?
They went mental when they didn’t get in the World Cup. Or will she turn a blind eye to that whilst sipping her cocktails and eyeing up those Italian Stallions in the budgie smugglers?

Yeah. England fans are hateful racists especially for supporting their national team. Something which is normal in every other European country.

Nope. A leftie friend of mine has actually gone away to Italy for a whole month as the thought of England flags and support for the team says it makes her feel nauseous.

That’s a bit of an extreme overreaction. She probably just doesn’t like football, although where she’ll escape the World Cup I’ve no idea.

Where has anyone said that?

The majority of England fans are not racist but there are racist England fans, plenty of evidence of that.

Why is this turning into racism? There's nothing wrong with English flags

God forbid people support their national team.
We live in a very middle class village and we’ve got flags and bunting up - as do many houses locally.

Because it always does. Are French or Spanish fans called racist because they support their country's team? No. This is exclusively related to England fans

Nonsense.

Nobody has called England fans racist, you made that link after I asked you about your lefties comment.

You can't deny that black England players receive racial abuse from so called fans.

Same applies to Spain and French fans.

LuckyHazelFox · Today 14:25

Tbf you're proving the pp's point about the left not just enjoying the country coming together.

And that racial abuse is wrong

Most of those racist comments come from overseas.
They even tracked some down after the Euros.
